2009 Jun 28 New Openings: w xyz
Haidian is a strange old place for those of us who live in town. It seems to be full of students and people who are willing to travel some distance to act like students (or touch them). It’s not all like this, though.
There are also five-star hotels, such as the aloft, and they have bars, such as w xyz. This doesn’t feel like a hotel bar. It’s like the hip kids hijacked the lobby, but instead of holding you for ransom they offer you Friday’s Crunk Night (RMB 60, all-you-can-drink). The space is airy and student-friendly. There’s a pool table, TVs and a lounge. w xyz is a cheap, clean and safe alternative to the spit and sawdust of the Wu.
